Sylvia felt a bit embarrassed, knowing she couldn’t fool Georgia. She gave a soft laugh. “It was just a misunderstanding, that’s all.”

She and Georgia talked late into the night. When Sylvia finally returned to her room, she took a shower, dried her hair, and lay in bed, unable to sleep.
She tried reading a book, but her mind wandered. She soon tossed it aside and rolled onto her stomach.
Sometime after midnight, her phone vibrated. Sylvia immediately checked it and saw an invitation to share music with someone. Her eyes instantly welled up with tears.
She slipped on her headphones; gentle, soothing music filled her ears, and emotions surged inside her, leaving her heart unsettled for a long while.
When the song ended, she picked up her phone and sent a message: [Are you still upset?]
He replied almost immediately: [That’s not what I want to hear.]
Sylvia: [Then what do you want to hear?]
Teaser: [Figure it out for yourself. Tell me when you know.]
Sylvia pressed her phone to her forehead, and after a moment, a soft smile appeared on her lips.
She didn’t reply, and soon fell asleep, still holding her phone.

On Saturday morning, Georgia woke up to see her father and Sylvia pruning flowers in the garden. Even from a distance, she could see the delighted smile on Old Mr. Quintin’s face.
Recently, Old Mr. Quintin had been in great spirits, and it showed in everything he did.
Old Mr. Jarvis sat in the living room, sipping tea. Georgia walked over to say hello and smiled, “This really reminds me of when Nana was little—she used to follow Dad everywhere.”
Old Mr. Jarvis set down his teacup and chuckled. “These days, it seems like Old Mr. Quintin wants Sylvia by his side for everything.”
